MR. HENDERSON’S JOB
Back in Washington D. C. there
io a man working at what is per
haps the hardest joo of the whole
nation. He probably knows he is
going to take a tremendous licking
but the prospects of it hasp’t de
terred him so far.
He is Leon Henderson, new deal
er at times, responsible citizen at
others. He is being coached by
Bernard Baruch^who administered
many domestic affairs during the
laat world war and did a good
job of it, too.
Hendersons job is to prevent
prices from rising. He is supposed
to have the support of the ad
ministration. He fears inflation
• it prices rise too high. So does
everyone else.
Look what happened to- Mr.
Henderson n the recent weeks.
The labor board or someone of the
multitude of boards having to do
with labor problems in Washing
ton oked a wage raise of 10
cents per hour for workers in the
general Motors plant. Coal min
ers are on the verge of refusing
to dig coal again unless they get
more money. (They cut defense
pi eduction in lAipril pretty serious
ly ) Farmers voted themselves a
b.gger slice of income. On the
coast bakers and ship workers, were
out for more money.
Theory of the new deal is that
wages can be raised and prices
kt pt at the same level because in
dustry can b« made to take less
for its services and pay huge taxes
in addition. Like most of the
•similar theories this one hasn’t
worked very well.
If wages rise prices will cer
tainly tend to go up. The admin
istration aids in raising wages and
Mr. Henderson tri$s to keep prices
down. The resule is just as all
informed people have predicted,
pricer are going up helter-skelter.
Be it sugar or shirts it costs more
today than a year ago.
Mr. Henderson is in for a trim-
ing. He’s a hard working front
man who will make plenty of fuss
about his job but if he’s going to
keep prices down he’s going to
need more help than he’s getting.
KAISER BILL
“Poor old Kaiser Bill,” the boys
u^ed to sing in the old days when
the now greying generation was
doing its soldiering. And how
they hated him and told stories
abc ut him and his family.' Civil
ians, too, stood on street comers
and recounted with- chauvamstic
fervor the physical violences they
would perpetrate on William II of
Hobenzollem were they but given
the opportunity.
Now the former Kaiser is deaa
in Holland where he fled when his
armies were nearing defeat and we
venture the statement that most
of those who hated him so in the
late teens of this century feel a
bn »ympathetic toward this old
man now gone to his reward.
Is it possible that he might teach
us a lesson about the shallowness
of hate?
The Kaiser was the individual
who, unfortunately for him, per.
sonified to most of us, the powers
of aggression we disliked. We
must have an individual to hate,
it seems. Seldom can we be arous
ed enough to fight against an
ideal.
V. 8. O. DRIVE
During the next few days
Snerman countians along With all
other citizens of the United States
act going to be asked to contrib
ute some pocket change to^r the
benefit of the men and boys who
have been sent to army and navy
cumps.
This is the first drive of this
kind of this war. If we continue
there will be many of them.
Purpose of this drive is to raise
seme $10,000,000 in the nation,
$76,000 in the state and $100 in
the county to give the boys in camp
a place where surroundings will
be more homelike than in bar
racks. ,
The United Service Organiza-
t or. comprises six groups all of
a hich aided service men and
v omen during the last war. The
government is building the build-
i :gs adjacent to the camps. The
I SO furnishes the equipment—and
1 iendship.
They provide recreation—give
the men something to do when not
( »illing—give shows, books, mag-
r zines, letter writing material,
have a place to meet family and
freinds.
If there be those who are in
doubt as to the value of this ser-
\ ice—ask the man who has been
away from home in an army
camp. •
I EBT DESTROYS DEMOCRACY
"There’s going to be a bust up
ftme day” is a common expression
when men are discussing the
economic situation. There is little
complaint about taxes principally
1 .cause they have not been levied
j t for the monstrous expendi
tures of the past ten years and
the gargantuan outlays of the de-
1 .nse measures.
There is general certainty that
the country has been following
tome very false economic gods and
that there will be a day of retri
bution and either restitution
through heavy taxes or inflation
tha* will be as bad or worse.
Many people are living with
that expectancy and are refusing
to try to save money that may be
practically worthlesss or be taken
. vay in taexs.
Government seems to be in the
same position as the wounded
tiger no longer able to protect it-
> elf and set upon by jackals and
crows each anxious to get its
pound of flesh before another
gets it all.
I^abor leaders are boasting that
they will get their share of gov
ernment expenditures, capital is
Lying to retain its hold and farm-
evs are being told by politician»
and leaders that they should have
their feet in the trough along with
the rest.
* This philosophy of each person
and each class about getting theirs
while the getting is good is cer
tainly the result of events of the
past few years and its end will
probably come when there is
nothing else to get. Then the dic
tators who laugh about democracy
as a way of government will have
another laugh.
We are not going to lose our
democracy to dictators. But we
may throw it away.

he is probably a fairly decent

tional talk to emotional crowds
